6,OOO Miles of Railway.
The contract by which the Richmond and
West Point Terminal Company secures a
controlling smount OF the East Tennessee's
stock was signed yesterday morning, and
the stock will lie Transferred to-day. The
deal Is complete so far as the East Tennes-
zee is concerned. but much remains to be
accomplished in order TO complete the
gigantic schemes of those iu control OF the
Terminal Company.
1t is expected that the Norfolk and
Western Will yet be brought under control,
Only 1t will come IN upon terms dictated
by the Terminal Company, not by Itself.
That the extent and power of the newly
created system is fully recognized in the
South appears in the following extract
from an editorial In tie Atlanta Constitution
Of Wednesday:
''Thefe are perhaps three men in New
York, say General T. NJ. Logan and Messrs.
Alfred sully and Isaac l.. Rice, who prac.
tically contrt every railroad rl1nlng ia and
out Of Atlanta, except the State road.
These three gentlemen represent in all prob
ability every element of the pool that runs
through the West Point Terminal Comp any,
own n majority OF the Richmond and Dau-
Vile stock, Georgia Central stock and East
Tennessee stock. Here, then, are three
men practically In control OF more than six
thousand miles OF railroad aud dozen lines
Of steamships.
"As before stated, they control every line
running in and out OF Atlanta except one,
which is owned by the State. They control
every road In Georgia, except the Savannah,
Florida and Western. They control nearly
every road in North Carolina. They con
troll almost every Atlantic port from Nor
folk to Brunswick. They are practically In
control of the South Atlantic seaboard and
the States east of the Blue Ridge

before Christmas. Thea he was told that
the application and the report of the medl-

back In few days. This wouldn't do
The merchant suggested telegraphing. The
medical examiner was sent for, his report
and the application were telegraphed TO
that city, and in less than six hours from
the time Of application the report was ac-
cepted in New York and the policy received
in Chicago. This ia said to be the first
